Nature

As we relax at home surrounded by mother natures art I am forced to reflect on the beauty of the outside world. The elegance of the pitter patter of raindrops on the roof is so soothing and relaxing. Watching the rain fall and collect on the ground and rush down the road. As it collects in the creek turning it into a shift moving river. The water rushes down crashing over the rocks. The leaves turning colors as falling from the trees provides perfect scenery for walking a puppy. Together we can enjoy the weather and days off.
Mother Nature provides us with outstanding variables. The wind rustles the leaves off the trees and pushes us around. It cools us off on warm days and makes us search for protection when it's chilly. Occasionally we are blessed with snow and a day of fun outside, home from school. It's rare that the rain cancels school. It's slightly unfortunate too. There's no playing in the rain. And the large possibility of the power going out would result in very little to enjoy at home in our modern age. But it is what it is. The hype and excitement surrounding a storm is so enjoyable. Preparing in advance for what you know is destined to come. Watching the Doppler radar seeing how bad it may get. Praying you don't lose power and that school will be cancelled for one more day. Mother Nature is beautiful.
